People in Hall Green are the most likely in the West Midlands to have signed the Refugees Welcome petition, while those in Walsall North were the least likely.

An e-petition on the Parliament website calling for the government to “accept more asylum seekers and increase support for refugee migrants in the UK”, had been signed by more than 435,000 people by Friday morning (11th).

In all, 1,107 from the Hall Green constituency – one in 106 people – were among these signatories.

Their Labour MP Roger Godsiff, said this week: “I believe we should take a generous and compassionate attitude. Britain has a tradition of giving refuge to people fleeing persecution and we should take a reasonable and sensible proportion of refugees.”

The images of Aylan Kurdi, who drowned trying to reach Greece, shocked the world and the public’s response has put pressure on Western governments to accept more refugees.

People in Selly Oak were the next more likely to support the Refugees Welcome petition.

A total of 945 people from the constituency, represented by Labour MP Steve McCabe, have put their names to the appeal.

However people in Walsall North are the least likely in the entire UK to have put their names to it.

Only one person in 724 in the constituency has signed the constituency.
